    Hey all,

    I need to know is it possible to somehow erase the original image uploaded via post image - post field?! With the situation now I receive 4 images. 1 original (can be whatever user has on his PC - up to 4 MB which clutters the server) and 3 which Wordpress creates according to specifications (thumbnail, medium, large). I would like to have the ability when user uploads the "original big image" to be deleted upon upload and be left with 3 remaining in media gallery?!. It will dramatically improve the storage on my server.

    Cheers!

    Gravity Forms passes the image that is uploaded to WordPress which processes the files for your Media Library based on your Media Library settings. So This part is handled by WordPress itself, and WordPress keeps the original image. You may have to look into a plugin that works with the Media Library to resize or manipulate the original image.
